Here i will tell you how to mount ntfs(windows) drivers at startup. There are 2 ways to do things. One is easy for beginners and other is for advanced users. You are free to use anyone as you like.

Method 1:

To auto mount drives on start up you need software called pysdm .

Software : pysdmDescription: PySDM is a PyGTK Storage Device Manager that allows full customization of hard disk mountpoints whitout manually access to fstab. It also allows the creation of udev rules for dynamic configuration of storage devices.

You will be presented with your fstab file, which basically tells Ubuntu where to mount the drives listed.

3: At the bottom of the fstab file paste the following:

Code:

/dev/sdb2 /media/sam ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

You will need to adjust 2 things: the name /dev/sdb2 to the drive that is specific to your computer, and the name /media/sam. The name I chose "sam" the directory where the drive will be mounted. Save the file

4: to create the mount point, open Terminal and type:

Code:

sudo mkdir /media/sam

where "sam" matches the name you used in the fstab file.

5. To test that it works, type:

Code:

sudo mount -a

This will mount all the drives listed in the fstab file.I think that you will then need to do a restart to notice the changes if you add more drives.
